Too childish for my tastes, even though the animation is pretty good for a football anime. Seems strange that girls are playing in a men's team too (but well, they're needing some players in order to re-open their clubs etc... etc...). Dropped for me.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Definitively not dropped for me ;)

The first episode was great (and the other four episodes that were aired as "premiere" too) - hoping for more ;)

Pretty interesting concept with the mixed gender teams. It's a bit original compared to the classic football anime. After that disappointing Area no Kishi, I'll probably enjoy this more. Hope they wrap it up in 50eps and don't go too far. The whole show would change if they go into highschool etc. No more mixed teams there.

Btw, what's with this football rush. 3 football anime are airing (+ Golden Kids)

Oota is really cool. This anime was really kind of funny alot and the main character, you just feel like you really want him to succeed in soccer since he is kind of no good but has so much passion. Cant wait to see how this goes and hope its pretty long running.

The art may be a little rough and the premise a little childish, but I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. More. Like this. It'd be most appreciated.

Better or not I don't want to debate about it. I don't drop any anime, just put them on hold and will watch them when I got the free time.

That girl is too self aware for her own good. But I've seen through it and the outcome is generic sports turnaround series.

Good episode, nothing special though. Didn't expect a masterpiece so this is pretty much what I expected.

Nice to hear Yuu as the lead :3

Nice OP and ED too.


4/5

Hahahaha.

5/10

Dropped because I'm not into sports anime really. This looks promising though, even if it is a bit childish.

Hm... Kuroko no Basket is the better sports anime this season, but this one looks interesting as well.

I really love her voice. That accent. :DD

It's interesting... smack that coach.

Will continue to watch, but might put on hold because I'm watching so many others.

The boy is voiced by a girl btw. She has great range.

I think its comparable or slightly better than Area no Kishi, they are really overplaying the heart thing in it...

I went into this anime with no expectations high or low, like I do any anime, and I gotta say that I liked it....

As for having mixed genders in the team, I find that pretty common in elementary school teams....and its not the first time I've seen it so I don't think its a bad concept to have in the anime : )
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

This pulled me in right from the start when Shou dreamed of playing against Barcelona (my favorite team). This series is an automatic win



(L/R) Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, and Xavi :)

seems like the animations could be slightly better then arena knight leading to more entertaining matches but it's a bit to childish to my liking.

but when ever i saw Erika it kept reminding me of Kaoru from Tamayura lol they look exectly alike

This. Plus I have a feeling that Shou would make a pretty good centerback or d-mid considering his ability to read the game well.

And the principal clearly hasn't watched the Women's World Cup.

Like it so far. I wonder how they'll get that drunk to be their coach though. Also curious if the kid practicing by himself will be joining their team or if he'll become the main rival (I intentionally ignore the op).

Although I was about the drop the series because of the art and Kobayashi Yuu in the leading role with a male character, I'll give it a little more chance thanks to little Hitagi. (Takato Erika)

Sorry but you have shit taste, Yuu is a selling point for this.
